CNN: Sea Princess Cruise Fearful Of Pirate Attacks


According to the news service report, the 2,000 passengers on the luxury liner were recently required to stop all activities throughout the ship from sunset to sun-up. The ban was because of potential attack on the ship by buccaneers.

The emergency action was just for 10 nights out of the 104-day round-the-world journey. The feared pirate danger areas are while the ship sailed in the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden and the Suez  Canal. So, if any passengers see the Jolly Roger hoisted, it’ll be yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, ye landlubbers!
St. Petersburg, Russia: Cats Prowl Cathy’s Castle Museum PDF Print E-mail


A must-see destination in the historic city is The State Hermitage Museum. Built as the Winter Palace residence in the mid 18th Century for Empress Catherine the Great, it’s now one of the world’s largest and most interesting collections of art. Works include those of Michelangelo, Van Gogh, Matisse, da Vinci and many others.

A unique feature of the museum is that it has been patrolled by a crew of working cats for the past two centuries. They’re official mousers, and are fed and cared for by museum staff. Daily visitors encounter many of the hundred friendly felines as they patrol the interiors and grounds. For more info, go to www.saint-petersburg.com/virtual-tour/hermitage
